Royal Closet Raid of the Day: March 26

Royal Closet Raid of the Day: March 26

Princess Eugenie celebrated her 25th birthday this week (getting a special Happy Birthday from her dad and the palace along the way), so I set out the find the best thing she's ever worn. And then I found it, and then I decided that I wish I had one for my own, and HERE WE ARE, it's time for another royal closet raid.
This is it, right? Best thing she's ever worn, I mean. This is a Vivienne Westwood gown, worn to the dinner the night before the Cambridges got hitched. She should live her life in Westwood, because this does all the right things for her. And it would do some right things for me too...hint hint.

Royal Wedding of the Day: September 16

Royal Wedding of the Day: September 16

Royal wedding alert! Or, rather, princely/etc./whatever wedding...never mind: WEDDING GOWN!

Princess Maria Theresia of Thurn and Taxis married Hugo Wilson over the weekend in Germany. Maria Theresia is a daughter of the late Johannes, 11th Prince of Thurn and Taxis, and his wife Gloria, a.k.a. the "Punk Princess" (in her earlier years). And it would seem Princess Gloria's penchant for quirky fashion is alive and well with this wedding - in the guests, mostly, as the wedding gown is a little off the beaten path, but also totally classic:
Classic Vivienne Westwood, that is. Westwood's abilities with draping and structure - so that something might look like it's bunching or maybe just about to fall off, but it's not going to do either thing because that's just the wizardry behind her talent with corsetry and underpinnings - is right on form. In addition to those classic Westwood signs, this one is adorned with a floral print and a bustle at the back.
The family does have a selection of tiaras remaining after they auctioned part of their jewel collection, but Maria Theresia opted for a headband-style piece instead. The buttery shades in the fabric do have me wishing the family still had their magnificent pearl tiara in hand (Empress Eugénie's, as worn by Gloria on her wedding day), but perhaps that would have been overkill for this bride.
A gown like this is probably a little too unconventional for some - it's not for everyone, and that's kind of the point - but I can't help but love that she put her own spin on the traditional bridal look. There are oh-so-many cookie cutter white dresses out there, right? Vive la différence!
